I swear the human pain response is so fucking maladaptive. "Oh, yeah, being in pain for an extended period of time can provoke a system-wide inflammation response which both slows healing and causes additional pain in parts of the body unrelated to the original injury, so taking painkillers may actually make you heal faster" who designed this bullshit?

everyone say in the tags what their current custom discord status is

i beat myself up for not knowing enough about my special interests a lot but then i remember the average person off the street has no idea what the carboniferous is and i feel better

are you really bad at it or are you in "good at it" spaces

Me: ah shit, I misidentified that yellow rumped warbler as a female goldfinch, I should literally be hung at the gallows for this. I'm such an IDIOT

My friend, pointing at a vulture: check out that fucked up crow lol

every piece of advice I see on this site for getting "fandom" tattoos is useless. "wait two years" "wait until the show has ended" right so wait until you're not invested and you don't care and you're not as excited to get the tattoo? nobody's listening to this.

the real advice. is to make sure the tattoo is a piece of art that you will enjoy having on your body even if you lose your connection to the media that inspired it. it should be meaningful or beautiful to you on its own merit, and not just because of the connection to the thing.

this is the same advice I give to people who want matching tattoos with another person.

I have two "fandom" tattoos for pieces of media I'm no longer invested in and a matching tattoo with my ex wife. I still love all my tats, because they're good pieces of art that I enjoy having on my body, even seperated from their original context.

do not get a tattoo of an actor's face or a highly recognisable symbol unless you've really come to terms with the fact that someone involved in your chosen property may be outed as a predator or other vile asshole later on.

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

Tumblr is odd because you’ll see a mutual post something really profound like “the birds still sing for those who listen” and you see them 5 minutes later saying something like “need to be pegged.grilled cheese style”

listen to me right now: stop wasting precious time waiting to dress sluttier until you're smaller. you have a limited number of slut hours before you die and barring cosmic interference you will Never obtain more of them. wear the crop top

Bread clip animals

[ID: A series of catlike animals with heads modeled after bread clips. From top-left, going clockwise: a purple clipcat with yellow flower patterns landing from a jump; a green clipcat with pink star patterns sitting; a blue clipcat with orange stripes standing and looking up; a yellow clipcat scratching itself with its leg. /end ID]

I was driving earlier and I saw a car with a bumper sticker on it that said "The MILF Of Human Kindness" so, of course, I followed the car for miles and miles until I ran out of gas and it just kept driving beautifully away from me.

rb to tell prev they're being so brave right now and pat their head a little please

Cleaning gets easier when you remember it's a thing you're doing to make your life less miserable, and not a thing you're doing as punishment

[Image ID: Tumblr tags reading: #and a thing you dont have to finish! you can just take a break or say im done with this for now #and pick it back up tomorrow or when you have the energy #cleaning a little and stopping makes life better than not doing any because its overwhelming and you feel like you have to do everything #and do everything in one sitting at that /End ID]

I think covid pulled some kinda psychic ripcord for anyone already primed for political derangement. The combinaton of social isolation and algorithm-driven radicalization just broke people. Everyone I talk to has a story of some relative that nobody talks to anymore.

Your uncle used to be like, into dirt bikes, l but all he does now is come home from work and watch YouTube shorts of IDF snipers blowing up child kneecaps or ex cops ranting about how their recent divorce was caused by "international bankers." And like, it's just gonna be this until you show up at his funeral.

I genuinely believe that the new SW trilogy wouldn’t have flopped out into irrelevance like it did if they hadn’t dumped Finn on the side of the freeway like a new pet rabbit the week after easter

Anyway in my heart Finn became a Jedi alongside Rey and inspired a Stormtrooper insurrection and Kyle Ron went back to his mom like he should have day fucking one and that angry redhead dude blew up with the star destroyer and Poe got to make it happen and at the end Rey doesn’t give a shit who her bitch ass non-palpatine parents might have been because she gets her new family like she needed and palpatine stays dead at the bottom of his musty hole like he should have and Finn and Poe give each other approximately 130% the amount of lingering meaningful looks and then one of their run-together-to-reunite moments results in a heat-of-the-moment make out like it should have and Luke and Leia meet in person a minimum of once so she can sibling slap him at least once for being a useless dramatic old hermit for a billion years and tell him to get the Chanel boots back on and stop being a sad hobo and then for no reason at all there is an ewok style moon of Endor forest party at the end like God intended

URGENT: move out in may 2025

hi, you've probably seen a bunch of my previous posts on this whole moving out thing.

i've lost my job and am struggling with worsening ME/CFS. i live in an unsanitary and unsafe environment thanks to inconsiderate and manipulative roommates. the landlord is selling the house and i'm nowhere close to securing my next housing situation. i desperately desperately need to get out of here and to have a safe clean and ideally private place to recuperate. please.

the original goal was $2500, which doesn't include expenses for moving services and new home essentials and groceries. i have been stuck at $370 since March 20. i started trying to raise for this move in February.

PPAL: GHOSTVOIDS (preferred)

Ko-Fi: alovelyfiend (long term goal tracking)

thanks for reading and thanks as always for the support.

as of yesterday (March 30);

420 / 2500

hehe nice 🔥

i've been really ill with body aches and coughing the past couple days, had to dip into moving funds to get medicine and electrolytes and food

in the meantime, i think my venmo works now?

also hi it's trans day of visibility!! 💗🏳️‍⚧️ please help a disabled nonbinary lesbian of color secure safe housing 🫶

i am still sick and i'd love to not worry about being unable to apply for and move into a new apartment by May please, i also have moving services to account for because i can't find anyone with a large enough car willing to help us move and we NEED to keep our current mattresses and furniture to avoid having to spend even more money that we don't have

430 / 2500

pls keep this going!! it won't matter how thorough and careful i am about the next place if i can't even afford to move in.
